As announced to the campus community last August, Nicholas (Nick) Aguilar,
Director of Student Policies and Judicial Affairs will retire, effective January 3, 2006, after 28 years of service at UCSD. I hope you will join me in thanking Nick for his many years of dedicated service to the UCSD campus community, and wishing him a rich and rewarding retirement. His last day on campus will be Friday, December 2.

A formal search for a new Director has been initiated. Meanwhile, I am pleased to announce that Anthony (Tony) Valladolid, Director of Student Legal Services, has graciously agreed to assume the additional responsibility of overseeing Student Policies and Judicial Affairs as Interim Director until Nick’s successor is identified. Tony has served as Acting Director in Nick’s absence on previous occasions and I am confident he will provide outstanding leadership during the transition.

Tony is located on the first floor of the Student Services Center, Building B and can be reached at Ext. 4-6225 (or avalladolid@ucsd.edu).
